Announcer Feels That Nelson Cruz Has 'Taken a Dump on the Texas Rangers'

Over the last 24 hours, fans, players and announcers alike have had their say concerning the suspensions handed down in the Biogenesis scandal.

But none were heavier than the words of San Francisco Giants announcer Mike Krukow during Monday's broadcast.

According to the CSN Sports broadcast (h/t Yahoo! Sports' Kevin Kaduk), Krukow states Nelson Cruz has "taken a dump on the Texas Rangers."

"...Well maybe this is the best time because Nelson Cruz has taken a dump on the Texas Rangers. How do they feel down there, the Texas faithful. They're great fans. They don't deserve this. So I'm sorry this has to happen to them and to that organization and to that fanbase..."

Those are some strong words from the announcer.

But does Krukow have a right to feel that way? And what about his past transgressions and those of Giants' players?

A blog posted on the San Francisco Chronicle's website by a writer with the name "Betting Fool" shows Krukow didn't hold back when talking about Schilling:

Krukow essentially said that Schilling is a blowhard, calling him an “idiot” who always seems to pop off about things he doesn’t need to comment on and saying “a little knowledge goes a long way. He thinks he knows a lot about everything.”

One has to wonder why he said nothing on Bonds, despite a reported failed amphetamine test in 2006, according to the Associated Press (h/t ESPN).

Then there's this interesting bit:

Mike Krukow just said he took amphetamines late in his career on KNBR. A greenie is like "five cups of coffee," he said.
